Philippians 3:12-16 – Pressing On Towards the Prize
Here is [Paul] who starts right away with an object in life — something to strive for, something to achieve, something worth achieving. He has a goal to which his whole existence tends. And that goal is Jesus Christ. His ruling passion is to get nearer to Jesus Christ, to be more like Jesus Christ, […]
Philippians 3:7-11 – The Glory of Knowing Christ
The world’s goods, its substance, its riches, its pleasures, its pomp, its fame, what are all these without Christ? They are a painted pageantry to go to hell in! They are a mockery to an immortal spirit. They are a mirage of the wilderness, deluding the traveler, but not yielding to his desires one substantial […]
Philippians 3:1-6 – No Confidence in the Flesh
A true Christian is one who has “no confidence in the flesh”. This means they have utterly despaired of themselves … are spiritual bankrupt.

Christian servants will […]

Psalm 111 – Thankfulness to God
Remembrance of the wonderful works of the Lord will have this effect on our minds. It will make us consider and acknowledge the divine bounty to us throughout all our lives. Observe what the psalmist says next: “He hath given meat unto them that fear him.” Now, as we recollect that, as the Israelites might […]
Celebrating 5 Years – Blessing Ekanem
I often say that Covenant Life Church is the best gift that Google has ever given me! Moving to a new city can be an overwhelming experience, and finding a home church was important to me prior to arriving. While still living in Orlando, I Googled “churches in Tampa,” and CLC was one of the […]
Celebrating 5 Years – Lauren Young
The first time I visited Covenant Life Church, I was invited to join by my friend Kaity, who God used to share the gospel with me. I first believed in Jesus as my Lord and Savior two years ago in May, when God gave me new life and made me a new creation. When Kaity […]
